WELCOME! My does time seem to fly by. It seems faster every year! Again this year we had some very exciting things going on. This fall we sold our highest selling heifer and steer ever in our September Private Treaty sale. I know there was some concern about the farming economy however; the demand for high quality cattle is still strong. Quality is the king. I ve known this for years. This year s bred selections are an elite group and top notched as ever! Be sure to make plans to come see them in person, we would love to have you. I guarantee you will have fun sorting through this group. One big change this year is that we are not mailing out catalogs, instead the catalog will be viewed ONLINE ONLY. The cost of catalogs along with my lack of confidence in the postal service has pushed me to this decision. Check it out online and know that sale day we will have handouts available with lot, pedigree and breeding information on. As always we look forward to visiting with you about the cattle. Don t be afraid to contact myself or Dacota with any questions. See you on Black Friday! - Chad, Kim, Skyler and Dacota PAGE 2 2018 RISING STARS XII

With great excitement, we bring you an exciting set of registered Angus bred females. Growing up showing Angus cattle and our first 10 years of our program was focused on the production of Angus cattle. For 30 years we have kept breeding Angus cattle. We have never stopped; we may have slowed way down for a few years but its full speed ahead now. Mixed in this group of home raised breds are females which we purchased from Cherry Knoll Angus, PA. Their manager, Tim Fitzgerald is a great friend and a former teammate of the Oklahoma State Livestock judging team. They have an extremely aggressive ET program and currently do not have a bred female production sale. So I felt it would be a great fit for us to incorporate them in our Rising Stars sale.

Each year one of the big highlights of Rising Stars is the embryo division. We will sell embryos throughout the year but no other time beside Rising Star time will you have access to all the donors. Again this year we will offer choice of sires. The donors will be conventional or IVF, our choice. You will have the choice as the buyer to select the sire you would like eggs out of. All the expense of making the embryos and semen will be Holtkamp Cattle Co. expense. The first 3 eggs made will be the buyers; the remainder are Holtkamp Cattle Co. s. This was well received and happy to offer it again. GRAND CHAMPION STEER, 2018 CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR - Olivia son, sired by Walks Alone 50 OLIVIA EMBRYOS 3 NO. 1 EMBRYOS MATING: HERE I AM X OLIVIA SIRE: 6X DAM: Angus Only at Rising Stars do you get this opportunity. Olivia produced the 2018 California State Fair champion for Brody Leo. This success story starts a few years ago when Denney farms bought this steer as an embryo and raised this calf. Olivia s track record doesn t end there; she also produced the 2014 Reserve Grand Champion steer at the Fort Worth Stock Show. These steers were Walks Alone and BIM and I believe the HIA is a sire upgrade of this genetic lineage. What s amazing on Olivia is that we haven t aggressively flushed her and these 2 great steers are out of 6 steers out of her in the last years. One of the other steers was successfully shown in MO with many champion titles. She is a rare one.
